So, maybe our ambitious plans to have a session right on the heels of our return from SketchyCon bit us on the butt. Well, bit Alexis, at least. Last Monday was definitely rough, but thank god for our stunning muse of the evening, Sable Sin Cyr.

Not only is she jaw-droppingly gorgeous, but she can make amazing costumes–that beautiful costume she’s wearing was created entirely from scratch by Sable herself. And unfortunately Charm City is losing her talent this summer to the land of beer and cheese, where she’ll be studying costume design.

As always, special thanks to Sable, Dionysus for hosting us, our sponsors Atomic Books, Artist & Craftsman Supply, and Baby Tattoo Books. Non-Special thanks to Bill for doing door and Jeff for photos (they aren’t very special, well, not in that way).

There were contests and prizes from our sponsors galore, so many in fact we actually had trouble having enough contests to distribute them all. While we drew, we listened to the Dr. Sketchy’s Old-Timey Dirty Ditties CD put together by Joe Wos of Dr. Sketchy’s Pittsburgh with design by Nicola Black of Dr. Sketchy’s Philadelphia.

One contest was based on Sable’s pose below the fifth track The Bumblebee Invaded The Nudist Colony by Billy Mitchell. You can listen to it below, though Lord knows don’t listen to it at work. 🙂 It’s hysterical. (Let me know if the link doesn’t work.)

Our next session is THIS MONDAY, May 8th with LiiLii Lipstick! Drawing and beer on a Monday, it doesn’t get much better than that.

Again, a big thanks to Johnny B for letting us use his awesome photo for our flyer. See you Monday!

What is Dr. Sketchy’s Baltimore?

It's a life drawing event with adult beverages and interesting models, i.e., burlesque performers, sideshow folk, circus people, etc. There are Dr. Sketchy's all over the world--even if you're not in Baltimore, there might be one near you.

Where is Dr. Sketchy’s – Baltimore hosted?

The Windup Space, 12 W North Ave, Baltimore MD, 21201

What are the rules of Dr. Sketchy’s – Baltimore?

1) 18 and over. $12 at the door, $10 if you purchase your ticket online by midnight the night before (advance sales are final).

2) Applaud the model. Imagine standing perfectly still for three hours in front of a crowd of silent, staring, and seemingly unappreciative strangers. Now, imagine doing that in a g-string.

3) Tip the model. Again, their job is waaay harder than it looks.

4) Don't take pictures of the model's crotch and post them on Flickr. That's just creepy (see #6, below). In fact, only Dr. Sketchy's staff are allowed to take pictures or video at all. Press folks are exempt from this rule, but should contact us AT LEAST 24 hours beforehand. The model is agreeing to pose for folks drawing, not a photo shoot, so if we are going to make an exception, we at least need time to get his or her permission.

5) If the official photographer is standing in front of you, please be patient---s/he'll move shortly.

6) Don't be creepy.

7) NO OUTSIDE DRINKS! The ONLY reason it is worth WindUp's time to host us is to sell drinks :)
